what is the best Black Magic colour matching brand,

and the best clear coat to use?

Once the weather picks up...eventually, maybe around August the way its looking,

I intend on doing some touch up work on my Octy's suit.

going to to clean up the flakey bits of lacquer, and deeper scratches.

the car aint worth investing in a respray, so it will be a during some time off,

rub down rattle can colouring, rubbing and clear coating and a lot of polishing to hide..

thanks guys

Edit -

I also intend on body matching the rub strips, grill surround, and maybe the wing mirror mounts.

thoughts/ pics on how it would look?

Find an auto trade paint supplier & get them to colour match the rattle cans for you. I've never had decent paint from a motor factor, Halfrauds etc.

Skoda dealer  

Yeah agreed, the stuff from the main dealer is good but expensive.

cool, i'll start investigating thems options

The range is a good match

What range Raf?

What range Raf?

The Range is a chain of stores that sell everything from pet food to very shoddy Chines made furniture and flammable cushions.

Aahh i see, we dont have them in Ireland, we have several other stores selling many many borderline dangerous products!!!

Not a skoda,

 

The definitive original gti...

 

My old mk1 golf S1!!!

 

How i bought it:

 

 

after a rattle can job from halfords:

 

 

after a face lift:

 

 

oo

yeah and this:

 

 

haha the power of a kr on R1 bike carbs hehe

 

sorry slightly off topic...

thats a decent finish.... im really going to need to concentrate when i get going!!!

If i am honest the bonnet is too big for a rattle can but it came out fine... My mk1 was a track toy... it weighed 780 kilos and had 188bhp at the fly with a 4 speed close ratio box wasnt worried about finish...

 

Oh yeah and it did 0-60 in under 6 sec!
